Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover

Chloe shook her head.

All these people-Connor had told her about them last night. They were her closest family, the ones who meant everything to her. But Chloe genuinely couldn't remember a thing.

Suddenly, Isaac threw his arms around her, crying hard. "No wonder you've been gone so long. You've forgotten everything. I'm Isaac—your Isaac, the one you were always closest to!"

Winston, standing nearby, frowned. Typical Isaac-always trying to get an edge,

even now.

Winston stepped in, his voice calm. "Chloe, I'm Winston. Before you found your family, we'd already been friends for years. I'm also your therapist. Whatever you need, you can always talk to me."

Isaac jumped in right away. "Or you can always talk to Isaac, too!"

They finally got in the car.

The whole ride, Isaac was a whirlwind-peppering her with questions, fussing over her, sometimes checking if she was comfortable, and then turning around to curse Lucas out every chance he got.

Before long, they pulled up at the Shaw family home.

The house was packed with people. Kash had just rushed back from his base. Wayne wasn't there he was in the US and had just gotten the news, so he was on his way home as fast as he could. Leah and Ann had come as soon as they found out, traveling all night.

The second Leah and Ann saw Chloe, their eyes filled with tears. They pulled her into a fierce hug, both of them sobbing.

Ann's voice shook as she cried, "Chloe, you're finally home. We prayed for you every day, hoping you'd be safe and come back to us."

Across the room, Ruby was waiting too, her nerves on edge.

For the past two years while Chloe was missing, Ruby had been the most level headed one-calm, steady, always comforting everyone else, never letting herself give up hope. But now, with the news that Chloe had been found, her composure cracked. She was suddenly scared-so scared, she couldn't even bring herself to go to the airport. She stayed home, waiting, every minute dragging by.

But when she finally saw Chloe, she kept her voice steady. "Chloe, you must be hungry after all that traveling. Let's sit down and eat first."

She said it so matter-of-factly, but as soon as she turned away, she couldn't hold it in anymore-tears started streaming down her face.noveldrama

Neil was just as overwhelmed. Seeing his daughter again, he could barely believe

it. He walked over to Chloe, this always-tall, always-strong man, and now he was crying too.

"Welcome home, sweetheart."

Chloe looked around at the room full of people. Most of the faces meant nothing

to her, but the warmth and love in the air was impossible not to feel. It was all so unfamiliar, yet somehow, it felt safe. Like home.

Everyone sat down around the dinner table.

No one asked her about the past two years, or what she'd been

through. Instead, they talked about everyday stuff-funny stories, memories, little things from their lives. It felt like a normal family dinner, not some long-awaited reunion.

Chloe barely said a word. She just listened-soaking up the laughter, the stories, the feeling of belonging. The table was covered in delicious food. Every dish tasted amazing.

Quietly, Chloe memorized every face, trying to take in who everyone was and what they meant to her.

At last, Chloe poured herself a glass

of tea. She stood up, her voice steady. "Iknow these two years made you all worry. But I'm home now. do my best to find my way back to being the daughter, the sister, the friend you love..." She paused, glancing at Connor beside her. “And the partner. Here's to all of you-thank you for never giving up on me. Thank you for loving me."
